Average speed cameras from Jenoptik are set to be installed on a section of the A85 Tyndrum to Oban road in Argyll and Bute.
The devices could be installed this month, with the aim of reducing the number of accidents on the stretch of road between Tyndrum and Bridge of Awe, according to ArgyllBute24.
A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said:
“We are currently aiming to install a number of average speed cameras [between Tyndrum and Bridge of Awe], ready for the summer tourist season with the view to reduce both the number zero injury and injury collisions during their deployment.
“The cameras are planned to be installed by our temporary average speed cameras (TASC) team during May 2026.
“We are currently planning for a number of overnight bridge closures at the Kilchurn Bridge at River Orchy to accommodate the replacement of two covers located on the centre line.
“The works will be completed over four nights with the A85 being open during the daytime. We have liaised with buses to ensure that there is a minimum effect on the public transport.”
The report also updated on the implementation of 20mph zones at multiple locations across the A85 network, which is now complete, addong:
“The recently installed 20mph interventions are being monitored to ensure compliance and over the forthcoming months we will continue to collect and analyse speed data, providing further interventions where required. There will be further work to make these speed limits permanent if the speed data shows compliance with the speed parameters of the 20mph project.”
